Miss Me - But Let Me Go!
“When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room, why cry for a soul set free?”

So sorry to hear of your moms passing, your parents were great friends of my parents, George and Helen Driedger, they had lots of good times playing cards. My thoughts are with you...

I would like to pass along condolences to Anne's family from myself, my wife Linda and the staff here at Chinook Village. Anne had such a lovely singing voice - you could hear her singing in Chapel Services - she wanted so bad to be healthy enough to sing a solo one more time - however that was not meant to be, now she sings with the angels in glory. I admired Anne's quiet, determined and courageous spirit as she gallantly lived out her life with difficult health challenges. We miss her gracious smile. May God comfort you as family - our love to you all.
Chaplain Lance Duncalfe
for my wife Linda, and the Chinook Village Staff

Hi Les & Tim and families,
I just heard of your Mom's Homegoing, and I will certainly miss her. I so appreciated her friendship, her sense of humour, and her honesty. But she is now free from her physical limitations, as well as all the other things we deal with here. She was a very special lady, and I have so many great memories of her and your Dad. My sincere sympathies to all of you.
